Deterrence
This is a bizarrely bad film, with an absurd plot and psychotic characters you suspect are supposed to be heroic. Trapped in a country diner, an Iraqi invasion of Kuwait causes the Jewish president of the United States to launch a nuclear strike against Baghdad, and then reveals that the Iraqi WMDs everyone feared were fake, which US Government always knew because they sold them. The sum political fall out of killing millions and laying the foundations for WWIII is that he chooses to retire from the upcoming election contest.
Actually come to think of it maybe the plot isn't too far off.
Like being inside George Bush's head.
The moral of the story is either that America should go right ahead and assert it's rightful place of dominance over the rest of the world with a nuclear fist, or something profoundly anti-Semitic.
